After having been discouraged by Bollywood films like Slumdog millionaire,i thought its better to check the next films @ home by downloading it from the internet ;rather than sitting in the cinema halls for a laborious 3 hours.At home at least one can move around & relax.
With this figured out,i was looking for movies to watch this weekend when i stumbled over the film “luck by chance”.The trailer appeared promising & it had a cast which included rishi kappor,juhi chawla,dimple kapadia,farhan akhtar & konkana sen sharma..all of whom have ruled the industry with their acting prowess at some point or another;so opting for this movie was but natural.
The movie has a very interesting concept.It traces the struggle of two newcomers;how they face the hardships;how they overcome the stumbling block & how both attain sucess at their own pace.
Farhan Akhtar is drawn to Konkana at the time when he is a nobody;just another body in the innumerable strugglers who come to Mumbai to try their luck.Konkana is a struggling actor too but she has done a few side roles in some films.A director keeps her bound to him by the promise of giving her a role in his new film co-starring John Abraham & Bipasha Basu.
As the movie progresses we realise how much the two protagnists have at stake.Farhan Lives in his Masi’s house,who advices him to leave this uncertain life of struggle & join his fathers buisness in Delhi.The two fall in love with each other.
Farhan lands the main role in a big banner film after being recommended by dimple(whom he accidentally meets & flatters in a party)
How entering the film industry changes his ideas about love & friendship;how eventually he sees the logic & rationale & how inspite of having come to his senses he is unable to get konkana’s companionship in his life again is all what this film is about.
Konkana on the other side is ditched by the director,who refuses to cast her in the film;how she realises that she alone can make her future happen & how she ultimately makes it big in the TV industry is what makes the movie worth watching
Zoya Akhtar’s film is good to watch but there are some loopholes.What happens to the Grandfathers clock that farhan lends to his friend who is an assitant director or what happend to the theater-based friend of farhan havent been explained however its a full paisa vasool..
something which i feel is quite a rarity in the times of today in hindi film industry
